2019 Vauxhall Grandland X SRI NAV Turbo 1.2L Petrol · DS69 FPG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 68,696 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one month prior. That December 2025 failure identified multiple critical issues including a split drive shaft CV boot, lighting failures, and headlamp misalignment. The fact that these faults were rectified quickly to pass the January test suggests the owner only addressed mechanical defects when strictly necessary to pass the legal inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression of 10,000 miles between December 2022 and December 2023, and another 13,000 miles recorded between December 2023 and December 2024. This regularity suggests typical road use rather than long periods of immobility. However, the recurring failures regarding tyres and rubber components indicate that these items are being run to the point of failure between service intervals. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front drive shaft area to ensure the split boot was replaced with a quality component and that no grease leakage has occurred. The history shows a persistent trend of poor tyre management, with the nearside rear tyre flagged for wear or perishing across 2022, 2023, and 2025. This suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or simple neglect of replacement schedules. Additionally, since the front brake pads were noted as thin in 2023, the current state of the friction material should be measured to ensure they have not degraded further since that warning.
